TN8 Item Styleguide ::: Order Sentences

Order Interaction with Vertical Sentence Ordering

Sometimes, you want to display your ordering draggables with special "textual" font treatments. This scenario occurs with sentence ordering interactions. To help with this, we have two special presentation options for orderInteraction's:

text-align-left - smaller text, left-aligned
text-align-center - smaller text, center-aligned

Use of the "text-align" subclassess on ordering interactions can make a big difference in the fidelity and usability of your ordering interactions.

For example, the interaction below is presented using the following descriptor:
<orderInteraction class="dnd-vertical text-align-left" responseIdentifier="RESPONSE" >

Also, you can use the "up" classes (one-up, two-up, three-up, four-up) to fine-tune the width and height of the ordering draggables.
